If I had been a delegate to the First Continental Congress, I would have agreed to this course of action. Yes, the letter was the correct action to take.

<h3>Here are the reasons why I would have agreed to send a letter to King George III.</h3>

First, this was an injustice. American colonists worked so hard to make a living and the British crown always wanted more money from them.

That is why I should have signed the letter asking King George III to repeal the taxes that violated colonists' rights in the 13th. colonies.

American colonists were upset and tired of the British government. The English imposed severe taxation such as the Navigational Acts, the Stamp Act, and the Tea Act, among many others.

The First Continental Congress was a delegate's assembly held from September to October 1776 in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Delegates from twelve of the thirteen colonies assisted the gathering in Philadelphia.

Some of the delegates who attended the Congress were George Washington and Samuel Adams.

We conclude that if I had been a delegate to the first Continental Congress, I would have agreed to send a letter to the King of England asking him to repeal the taxes that violated colonists' rights.

How might our world be different today had Constantine never existed?
Pie

Constantine is very important in the world history by the changes he made towards the Christianity and how he set up the scene for its progress. If it wasn't for him, the Christianity might have never been legalized, and to become the dominant religion in Europe, and afterwards in the Americas, and parts of Africa. Since the Christianity has had huge effect in the political sphere in Europe, and it is a big global player even nowadays, the world would for sure be a much different place if it never spread and gained power and followers. Maybe the paganism would have existed on a large scale, maybe another religion and its principles and morals would have become dominant ans shape the world, we can only guess, but it is sure that it was not going ot be the same.
